can run 70 miles in 24hrs around the brecon beacons carrying my bodyweight.
allow me to clarify…with epilepsy my 'relatives' would have You a marksman in an hour.
We have waivers for everything.
I'm a terrible shot and couldn't hit a cows ass with a banjo but can run, hide and carry stuff for weeks.

I wonder what Ashli Babbitt would say...
After some further pondering, the idea that, despite the reality, I would in essence be fighting for my country (and not my government etc.)
Do you mean if your country was ever invaded or would you travel to a foreign country with the intent to kill those people on their home soil because your government (not your country as you put it) wanted you to?

I know it's hard to fathom, but imagine that there are other people that are born in other countries that have the same love for their home, that you have for yours.
You wouldn't expect them to go protect a border from immigrants, in a country that is basically founded on immigration...
I have a vague memory of a war that was studied and showed the majority of the troops purposely shot over the heads of the enemy - it may have been vietnam but I'm not sure.

Fighting for your country is something else than fighting another country
following orders from an establishment i don't trust will never happen, but fighting for what I hold dear about my country is a duty.
then go to the southern border and fight for the USA since jb is AWOL
